Yacine Sebti

The work and practice of Yacine Sebti (BE) explores the possible interactions between a body in space and computer generated images or sounds. This body can be the one of the spectator or the one of the performer.

Yacine produces his own installations but collaborates on a regular basis with different artists, e.g. experimental filmmaker Pascal Baes, musician-sculptor Frédéric Marbaix, or videomaker Tom Heene.

Eveline Van Bauwel, in collaboration with Yacine Sebti, experimented a scenography on a moving color landscape that is activated and transformed by the movement of the dancers for the dance performance "Infinite Journey/ In This Together...".

Mirror Match is both an installation and a closed performance space for a visitor and an actor, inviting the visitor to explore his/her relation with his/her reflection. It combines sophisticated techniques with an actor/performer who interacts with the visitor, driving him through a complex multi-level script.

"European Window" presents art projects that support intercultural exchange and connect the local scenes through the media facades of the participating cities. In Brussels, we will show "Get Your Back Up Off the Wall", an interactive vidéo by Nika Radic and "Tales that are never told", a vidéo by the net activists Toxic Lesbian. These custom-made projects will be shown on the Flagey Screen.

Media Facades Festival Europe 2010 (MFF 2010) is an urban media art project that interconnects seven European cities through urban screens and media facades located in public spaces. Artists and media designers will show throughout Europe specially developed art projects, during screenings and Joint Broadcasting Events, opening a global window to create dialogue, share dreams and exchange ideas.

The research project VIRAGE develops methods and sofware prototypes for cultural industries and for the arts, whether they are performing arts, visual arts or installations. The consortium is composed of art centers, universities and innovative companies from France and Belgium. These 3 days of lectures, workshops, performances and exhibitions will present the end results of the project.

The installation by Tom Heene and Yacine Sebti is part of the 43 nominees in the interactive art section of the famous brazilian festival FILE (São Paulo). You can support Salt Lake by voting directly on the website of the FILE PRIX LUX.
